This vibrant chilled cucumber and orange juice offers a sophisticated twist on a classic summer cooler. By blending hydrating cucumbers with the bright acidity of seasonal clementines or mandarins, you create a beverage that is both deeply refreshing and naturally sweet. The addition of dried oregano or za’atar introduces a subtle savoury note, cutting through the citrus to provide a complex flavour profile that works beautifully as a non-alcoholic aperitif.
As a versatile vegan recipe, this drink can be served in tall glasses over ice for a garden party or presented in small chilled bowls as a light starter. It is an excellent way to use up a glut of greenhouse cucumbers, providing a healthy, vitamin-rich boost that is low in fat and entirely plant-based. Simply prepare it in advance to allow the flavours to marry perfectly while it chills.

Ingredients for Chilled Cucumber and Orange Juice with Oregano
900g /910 g medium cucumbers
550ml /530 ml fresh orange or mandarin orange juice, preferably clementine
1 1/2 teaspoons superfine sugar, plus more as needed

How to make Chilled Cucumber and Orange Juice with Oregano
Trim the ends from the cucumbers and scrub the peels. Remove about half of the peels from each cucumber and remove the seeds if they are large. Cut the cucumber into chunks and put in a food processor or blender. Pour in the orange juice and sprinkle in the sugar and oregano. Blend for at least 1 minute or until very finely puréed. The drink should be a bit thick and slightly foamy. Taste for sweetness and seasoning and adjust as needed.
Pour into a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate until chilled. Serve in tall glasses or in small bowls with spoons.
